That’s a good question and one I’ve thought about a lot. At this point I don’t have a definitive answer to be perfectly honest with you. The goal is to get people to share content on these sites of their own fruition, and these platforms can’t possibly ban them all just for posting our content. I have writers on deck to revive the front page with more social media-oriented content, and who will share with their audience. This project is extremely complex tbh and I don’t have all the answers yet, but if people are genuinely interested and aren’t just going to be syphilitic dicks, then I’ll keep you updated.

thanks op. i love social media-oriented content.

I have no idea. All I know is that Rich has told me that the legacy code for this whole goddamn site is like spaghetti. He’s said it might take a team of people to make it modernized. One of my projects at the moment is creating a pitch packet and actual loving business plan to show to potential investors. Rich isn’t much of a networking person, but I am. This project will require a lot of capital up front and getting that is part of my job at this point.

If I had my way, nobody would know anything about me and I would not be posting on this site at all. It all started with a picture Rich posted of me on social media. We thought it would be funny. Turns out it wasn’t and it’s caused me quite a lot of stress. I felt compelled to post because people know my name and spread all sorts of abhorrent bullshit about me, and I wanted to show up and prove that I’m an actual human being with goals and hopes for a site that pretty much saved my life when I was 12-15. This site means so much to me and I’ve told Rich as much. I want to keep it going for other people to enjoy.

I’ve never done LSD. Besides, I take psych meds that would inhibit the mechanism of action in my brain so it would do jack poo poo anyway. I just liked the colors.

Jesus Christ, goons, stop pretending you're too cool for facebook or twitter, lmao.

Anyway. There's this viral interview with Dr. David Thorpe about SA, but, as a joke, at the end of the interview he says that the actual URL for the site is somethingisawful.com (something is awful dot com). And it's not. It doesn't even redirect here from that URL. The most popular upload of the interview has over 200k views, and there are dozens of re-uploads, so I suspect there are people missing the joke and never even finding the website because of that. My suggestion is to buy somethingisawful.com and put a redirect there.

You can watch the video here:
